Not to mention the upcoming American Idol summer tour!

On Jimmy Iovine’s Tough Criticism:
“Jimmy is really open with his opinions, and honestly, he would not be where he is today if he didn’t know a thing or two. So, I take his opinions to heart and I think that he’s just trying to make us better. He doesn’t want to make anybody worse. If he didn’t like a performance, then that’s his opinion. Everyone has one and I respect it completely. Sometimes it makes you grit your teeth, but you get over it.”

On Results Show
“Me and Hollie [Cavanagh] are best friends in the competition and she thought she was going to go home, because she had been there before. I just kind of looked at her and I just kind of said: ‘I think you’re going to be surprised Hollie.’ I just had a gut feeling, I felt something and I was really accepting of it,” Skylar tells us. “It just hit me when I was walking back up on stage. I was like: ‘It’s going to be me. I can just tell, I know it is.’ And I just prepared myself and I was like: ‘I’m just going to rock out, I’m going to leave on a good note, and leave with what they know me as.'”

What’s Next For Skylar Laine?
“I want to record an album, I’m thinking about the tour right now [American Idol Tour], because the tour is going to be a lot of fun, but doing all this press and hearing the people who say: ‘You are going to have a long career ahead of you.’ It’s amazing. Because I just want to come out with an album, I want to be at the CMA Fest this year, I want to do all that stuff, that’s my dream. I mean, coming in 5th place, I’m really accepting of that, Because Kellie Pickler, I love her, and she came in 6th and look at her now. So, hopefully, I will following in those footsteps.”

Nearly 60 million votes came in…very close friends Hollie Cavanagh and Skylar Laine were left standing there together, facing elimination side-by-side. There was so much emotion between them, but in the end they said goodbye to Skylar, who was one of the more fearless contestants. She was very young, but incredible comfortable up on stage.

Ryan tells us that after the show Randy Jackson gave Skylar some advice: “Find good songs. Coming out of the momentum of ‘American Idol,’ find great songs. Whether you, Skylar, write them or you write them with somebody else or somebody else writes them for you. The key to capitalizing on the momentum of ‘Idol’ is great songs.”

Moments after the show we spoke to Skylar and revealed what happened when she met fellow country starlet Carrie Underwood backstage, why she wants to meet Tim Tebow, and how many pairs of boots she owns. Check out the video below to hear her answers and tune in to FOX next week, only four contestants remain. Who do you think will become the next “American Idol?”

Tonight, it was such a relief to see dad Adam Brock make it through as well, and the results just kept coming in. Did your favorite nab one of the last spots?

Jennifer Lopez called Jeremy Rosado‘s final performance “transcendental” after he held a note for 4 whole measures on Carrie Underwood‘s “I Know You Won’t.” The 19-year-old is going to be singing for your votes next Tuesday in the Top 24!

Shannon Magrane‘s parents showed up to support their 16-year-old daughter, despite an awkward first meeting withStevenTyler. Luckily, they were hugging her out of happiness and not sadness when she made it through to the live shows.

Despite a stellar name and a having JLo on his side, Scott Dangerfield was sent home for the second year in a row. All we really saw of him was his final performance, which was shaky to say the least.

Rough and tumble Skylar Laine was visibly nervous as she walked the long walk towards the judges. When Randy complimented her dress I was sure he was buttering her up to let her down easy, but to my surprise she made it into the Top 24!

Deandre Brackensick has it all– the name, the hair, the incredible voice that goes from clean falsetto to deep tenor. This wasn’t his first year auditioning, and his final performance of “This Woman’s Worth” showed how far he’s come from last year, gaining him a spot in next week’s show.

Jermaine Jones had a pretty upsetting edit tonight, as we saw him break down both before he got news and after he found out he had been cut. But I couldn’t help but giggle when I saw he performed his final solo wearing a pastel, argyle sweater-vest with nothing underneath.

ArielSprague, Shelby Tweten, Hollie Cavanaugh were the final three girls who had to face their fates together. Ariel was part of the young dream team that rocked Hollywood week, but it was unknown Hollie who pushed through to the Top 24. Watch her final solo in the video above– was she the right choice?

It’s great television when the final two boys are friends, but it’s also fairly heartwrenching. Take into account how young David Leathers, Jr. and Eben Franckewitz are (17 and 15, respectively) and it becomes even more difficult to watch. I’ll admit I was totally shocked on this one. I just hope Eben can really pull it out in the Top 24 and prove that he deserved to beat out his group member and friend.

“Hold on!” says Ryan Seacrest– the judges decided that they couldn’t bear to lose a certain male from the Top 24 and decided to throw in a bonus singer. When the boys perform on Tuesday, either JohnnyKeyser, JermaineJones, DavidLeathers, Jr. or RichieLaw will be welcomed back with open arms and allowed to sing for America. Who are you gunning for?
